Larry Romboski ’59 was a four-year letterwinner for the W&J men’s basketball team from 1955-1959. Throughout his storied career, Romboski was widely known as one of the top players in the east with a deadly jump shot. Romboski still holds the Washington & Jefferson record for points scored in a single game as he poured in 43 points in his sophomore season vs. Bethany.
A member of Beta Theta Pi, Romboski scored a school-record 1,274 points in his four years, a record which stood at the College for over a decade. He also averaged 17.9 points per game and appeared in 73 consecutive contests, which also broke a school record at the time. In W&J’s first year in the PAC in 1959, Romboski was an All-Conference honoree as he led W&J to a 15-3 record.
During his last three seasons, the Presidents held a 37-18 overall record. Romboski retired as a professor in math and computer science from California University of Pennsylvania in 2002. In 1998, he received the CUP Excellence in Teaching Award at the annual Presidential Gala. The CUP Alumni Association gave him the C. B. Wilson Distinguished Faculty Award in 1989. In 1975 and again in 1976 he received a Pa. State System of Higher Education Award for outstanding academic service.
